When the TTS engine provides visemes to the faceplate, the information
passed along consists of the mouth shape and the duration to display it.
When the system get backed-up for some reason (e.g. the CPU is briefly
overloaded), the code would attempt to catch up the animation but would
still send the 'expired' viseme across the serial port to the faceplate
with no wait-time. This results in a fast-moving mouth to catch up,
which isn't very pleasing.
Now the viseme is passed along with an expiration date, so if the time
to display it has already passed then the viseme code gets thrown away
instead of being sent across the (relatively slow) serial port. This
allows better catch-up.
Several refinements:
* Remove the "What time is it" preloaded example
* Page up/down now moves by 1/2 the # visible log lines instead of always 10 lines
* Reduce the frequency of full-screen redraws to 10 secs instead of 5 (because less needed with the corruption fix)
* Add the version of mycroft-core in the upper-right corner
* FIX: screen redraw now uses a lock, preventing corruption from drawing simultaneously from multiple threads
This cleans up the amount of noise in the logs:
* Removed logging of the serial port raw read/writes.
* Removed the "Setting active skill" log in display_manager.py
* Corrected typo "dispaly"
* Added default CLI filter for mouth.display and mouth.icon messages
* Fixed bug when adding new filters
When (re)booting a Mark 1 unit will show rolling eyes until it reaches
a "ready" state. This happens by sending a command to the Arduino.
There is also code that prevents sending commands our the serial port
if not running on a Mark 1. In certain situations, the message
indicating that the Mark 1 Arduino was found was posted to the
messagebus before it was fully open. When this was missed, the system
didn't think it was on a Mark 1 and the command to stop the eyes from
rolling (and for further interactions with the Mark 1 hardware) were
not sent.
The Mark 1 Arduino detection is now triggered when the messagebus
'open' notification is generated rather than when the object is
constructed.
==== Fixed Issues ====
#967 - Eyes never stop spinning on startup (Mark 1)
This fixes at least a potential issue with the Mark 1 boot sequence.
The system posts a "system.version" message then registers a
listener for the response. There is a chance that the response
sneaks in before the handler is registered. This just reorders the
sequence of that code.
==== Fixed Issues ====
ISSUE #967 - Eyes never stop spinning on startup (Mark 1)
This commit officially switches the mycroft-core repository from
GPLv3.0 licensing to Apache 2.0. All dependencies on GPL'ed code
have been removed and we have contacted all previous contributors
with still-existing code in the repository to agree to this change.
Going forward, all contributors will sign a Contributor License
Agreement (CLA) by visiting https://mycroft.ai/cla, then they will
be included in the Mycroft Project's overall Contributor list,
found at: https://github.com/MycroftAI/contributors. This cleanly
protects the project, the contributor and all who use the technology
to build upon.
Futher discussion can be found at this blog post:
https://mycroft.ai/blog/right-license/
This commit also removes all __author__="" from the code. These
lines are painful to maintain and the etiquette surrounding their
maintainence is unclear. Do you remove a name from the list if the
last line of code the wrote gets replaced? Etc. Now all
contributors are publicly acknowledged in the aforementioned repo,
and actual authorship is maintained by Github in a much more
effective and elegant way!
Finally, a few references to "Mycroft AI" were changed to the correct
legal entity name "Mycroft AI Inc."
==== Fixed Issues ====
#403 Update License.md and file headers to Apache 2.0
#400 Update LICENSE.md
==== Documentation Notes ====
Deprecated the ScheduledSkill and ScheduledCRUDSkill classes.
These capabilities have been superceded by the more flexible MycroftSkill
class methods schedule_event(), schedule_repeating_event(), update_event(),
and cancel_event().
* Add automatic uploading of wake words and learning option in enclosure client
* Spawn new thread and remove ping
Spawning a new thread eliminates the need to ping and eliminates additional latency. In addition, the return code of scp is now used to determine whether to delete the wake word
* Increment enclosure version number
This extends the Command Line Interpreter with two new features:
* Add command
:find 'string'
Only show log lines that match the given string, including
newly incoming log lines. Hit Ctrl+X to end the search.
Ctrl+F works as a shortcut.
* Add command
:history #
Change the change history height to # lines. This setting
stays across sessions.
==== Tech Notes ====
- Number of callers is now handled in the recognizer loop to make sure
status isn't lost when new settings is applied.
- Adds a force_unmute method to make sure the device is completely
unmuted when the user presses the top button.
==== Tech Notes ====
Autoloading configuration in submodules is bad for testing purposes and
should be reduced. It takes time and adds the possibility of altering
the base conditions for the tests
- mycroft/skills/core: global configuration moved to main.py
- mycroft/messagebus/client/ws.py global config moved to __init__ of
Websocket
- client/speech/mic.py global config moved to ResponsiveRecognizer
__init__() method
- client/enclosure/display_manager.py
- get_ipc_directory() called in methods where used
==== Tech Notes ====
Listens for 'mycroft.paired' and will unmute the mic when this occurs.
This was handled by the pairing skill but for clarity it should be
unmuted at the same place.
==== Tech Notes ====
Mute was previously a simple boolean meaning that if two parts of the
code wanted to mute it it would unmute the mic as soon as the first of
the two pieces of code wanted to unmute.
For example tts output will mute the mic and unmute it when the audio
output is complete. During first start up of a mark-1 the enclosure
mutes the mic and expects it to be muted until the pairing is complete.
This doesn't work. The mic get's unmuted as soon as the first sentence
has been spoken.
This counts the number of times mute is called and will not unmute until
as many unmute calls has been made.
Several changes to CLI behavior, all minor:
* Inverted the behavior or PgUp/PgDn. I think it was just wrong
* Added "oldest" and "newest" indicators to the log listing to
simplify finding your way inside the logs
* Added support for _not_ scrolling when in the middle of the log
output. It will now only auto-scroll when already at the front
of the log so you keep seeing new messages automatically.
* Added a heading for the mic output level
* Limited the mic output level to just the size of the bottom
area (previously it was proportional to the screen height)
* FIX: Changed the default filter string for viseme
* FIX: The saving of settings was broken
* Ran autopep8 which added a few bits of whitespace here and there
Bug fix proposed for success wake-word recording.
Opt: Suggestion to change the save location of recording files as well.
Otherwise, the user could potentially get the permission denial.

Add intent fallback system
==== Fixed Issues ====
NONE - replace with issue numbers, e.g. #123, #304
==== Tech Notes ====
NONE - explain new algorithms in detail, tool changes, etc.
==== Documentation Notes ====
The FallbackSkill needs to be documented in detail for skill creators.
==== Environment Notes ====
NONE
==== Protocol Notes ====
multi_utterance_intent_failure replaced with complete_intent_failure
This is because this will break wolfra alpha skill unless they update
skills, but if they update before getting the new version, it will also
break wolfram
This reverts commit 6ca4161335.
* Create new FallbackSkill base class for implementing fallback behavior
Also removes multi utterance intent fail. Only makes sense to emit an intent_failure regardless of the amount of intents
* The allow_timeout value was tested poorly, preventing it from actually doing anything
* Upped the number of arp/ping test failures from 3 to 6 when validating the connection. This makes falsely detecting a wifi setup disconnect pretty unlikely.
Improved the way the button press is handled. Now the listener gives the rest
of the system a moment to consume the button press before it interprets it
as a request to begin listening.
Also replaced the use of the "buttonPress" signal when "expect_response"
was indicated with an utterance. Now the signal "startListening" is
created, differentiating it from a buttonPress.
This implements the handler for the Mark 1 menu item SSH > BLOCK (the inverse of SSH > ALLOW)
* Added handler for "unit.disable-ssh" on the serial line. This turns around and emits "mycroft.disable.ssh" on the messagebus.
* Removed the automatic reboot, just let the user know it will be different after a restart
* Made the spoken message translatable
* Changed mycroft.dialog.get() to not require the "lang" parameter. It will default to the mycroft.conf value.
